for more to the embassy attacks, let's go to pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski. i like to follow up on what richard engel was talking about and u.s. officials are looking very closely now at the possibility that this was a staged commando attack as richard implied in his report. and the fact is that, you know, ambassador stevens was known to pretty frequently travel in libya pretty openly with a fairly small security contingent. and it wouldn't have been out of the realm of possibility to have somebody within the libyan government known in advance where the ambassador was going to be that allowed this attack to occur at the same time. and again, following up on richard's report and a u.s. official told us, who brings an rpg and machine guns to a demonstration? a protest demonstration. so there are serious questions about exactly what went down. now, in terms of what is going on with the u.s. military, we're told by u.s. officials that as many as 200 marines it could be less but as many as 200 marines often amphibious aircraft carrier headed toward libya to bolste

>> reporter: it's been really interesting, because nato has tried to backtrack a bit because the pentagon released information to suspend most u.s.-afghan operations within the country. when we spoke to nato officials in kabul, they wanted to emphasize it was a temporary suspension, but it's really to protect the lives of international forces within the country because of these insider attacks. that's when afghan forces turn on coalition partners. together with this anti-islamic film that caused outrage. they fear more soldiers will be under attack by the afghan partners. no matter what way you look at this, this is undermining to the nato motto and mission fighting alongside the afghan partners as they try on to hand over the country into afghan hands by the end of 2014. tamron. >> live for us in kabul. let's bring in t.j. crowley who served as a spokesperson from 2009 until last year. before we get the your latest insight on what's happening in afghanistan, i want to play the new excerpt from governor romney's secretly fund-raiser in may where he spoke about the israeli/palestinian conf

is the mission there undermined, that's what some are asking following the pentagon's announcement they are suspending some training. this follows a surge in attacks on u.s. and other coalition troops. joining me now, military analyst and retired army colonel jack jacobs. you were one of the first, i saw you on "nightly news" as saying this could be undermining there. >> the president's plan we start withdrawing in 2014, but we have to get from here to there and we're not going to be able to do it unless we train the afghans. training has not been going well, and now that we decided that we're going to pull back from training some of the police because we haven't vetted them properly and that we're going to find different ways to vet them so that we can have some semblance of security there leads one to think that, in fact, we've already decided that as soon as the election's over, we're going to start withdrawing even more quickly. >> is that the logical conclude? in one instance the gun had been handed to one individual trained and he turned the gun on the soldiers on the spot. >> sup
